Would be a great problem to have but it would be a tough call if the flames were set to pick say 3rd overall and both Schaefer and Misa were already picked. Basically means the flames would have to pick between the best player available (Martone) or the best available center (Hagens). Also the American factor with Hagens might be a slight concern. The flames desperately need to get a center out of this draft but would they be passing on the next Matthew Tkachuk (Martone) to get potentially a lesser player most because they play center (Hagens/McQueen/Frondell)? I’ve always subscribed to taking the best player available no matter the position but they are so thin at center prospects that I might waiver in this scenario. But it would be painful to pass on Martone.
